Double agent: Twitter reacts to Petr Cech's poor Premier League debut with Arsenal
So, about those good vibes from preseason ...
Arsenal's Premier League campaign began with a thud Sunday at the Emirates, as the Gunners were stunned 2-0 by an impressive West Ham side, the latter getting goals from Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate on either side of the interval.

Both goals came courtesy of errors from summer signing Petr Cech, the shot-stopper who was supposed to help solve Arsenal's long-standing issues between the posts.
Twitter, naturally, had a field day with the goalkeeper's struggles.
Wenger:
"can I have a refund on Cech please Jose?" http://t.co/ppsuWsoud3

Well, they say Petr Cech can earn a club 10-15 points a season. They just didn't say which club. #AFC #WHUFC

Mourinho could offer me a hundred million dollar villa in Monaco and I'd refuse.

Cech fast discovering that playing behind a defence that isn't marshalled by John Terry is a very different experience #CFC
